Russian ML, which I guess makes me a Stalinist.
The only good MLM is a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist; don’t give me that Tupperware shit.
As a Russian, I’ve always found it bizarre how so many Russian comrades can come to correct conclusions regarding socialism/USSR, but often for some ass-backward reasons, while at the same time being deeply culturally conservative. The whole forum in general is a great example.
TBF Stalin did have that sort of look.
They later showed a photo for damage control that made it clear this wasn’t actually a swastika, just a knot design that the low resolution did no favors.
The higher res picture does, however, have a slightly more subtle swastika to the right of it.
Name checks out. It’s probably just to do with the icons looking cooler than basically anything Reddit themselves has made. The games massively popular, but I don’t think it’s popular enough to have so many fan profiles willing to change pfp.
On second note, the posters savathun profile picture does check out with their suggestion.
Honestly a separate org or universe seems like best idea. A “tankie scp” would just get brigaded to no end by the original group but an offshoot into the same genre of fiction that happens to be run by socialists but doesn’t need constant propoganda would attract neutral interest and disillusioned writers from main SCP rather than hatred.
Byitye institute sounds good, IMO. It moreso means reality/existence, but it does also mean entity, so it’s got a nice double meaning considering they deal with each.
My idea is some old Soviet group that got founded in the early 1920s before any others to deal with the occult warfare of the tsarist white army, expanded, kept going in extreme secrecy against Nazi occult magic until the 60s, over which time they encountered a lot of other orgs. Then there’s a paranormal cold war between them and the west, and, now, having split entirely from Russia and self controlling, it’s the most experienced and geographically widespread org by far, trying to manage the politics of a fuckton of other groups that hate both it and eachother, and not letting the world burn.
A left scp style community should, IMO, focus more on the writing and writing freedoms than being an overt propaganda hub. Any good writing will carry the messages anyhow. Nor, honestly, should it mean that the sort of things the organization does are any more pleasant, watching coworkers get ripped apart rarely is, just more ethical. Trained teams that know the risks instead of random prisoners, easy ways to leave (provided they get memories erased), giving rights to what isn’t threatening but keeping them still secret, etc.
There was a picture of a target posted a while back. More “hunk of charcoal” than salsa. Nowhere near as good on chips.

Edit: Americo-Ukrainian fascism is just modern Ukraine, don’t know why I didn’t just compress that
